All right, one week is in the books, feel Jates and unfortunately for Sunday night football,

0:04.6

we had Dak Prescott end up getting hurt towards the end of the game.

0:09.0

Now that we are through Sunday night, it looks as though Dak is going to miss

0:14.2

anywhere between six to eight weeks, according to multiple sources because of a fracture in his thumb.

0:20.5

Obviously field that is going to leave a huge hole at quarterback for Dallas Cowboys,

0:24.4

but more importantly, a huge hole at quarterback for fantasy managers.

0:27.5

If you had Dak that you were rostering this week, what is it that you should be doing on waivers?

0:31.9

Because now it looks like you're going to be out without Dak for quite a while.

0:34.5

your backup on your roster, which would give you a transition even if not a seamless one,

1:05.2

because you expect a big thing that had a Dak this year, even though he did play poorly in week one

1:10.0

before he got hurt. But there are a couple of names that I think are worth monitoring on the

1:14.6

waiver wire, you know, guys that played well in week one, including Miss Winston and Carson

1:18.9

Wenz. You know, Wenz had a few ugly moments because well, Carson Wenz has been prone to that,

1:23.6

right? Yeah. But it's a good matchup in week two for Carson Wenz against your alliance.

1:28.0

So it strikes me as an opportunity to potentially start the Dak replacement by streaming Carson Wenz

1:34.4

in week two. Other guys include the likes of Daniel Jones and Justin Fields, maybe even
